Tuesday before Christmas, Mr.. A. f. Han
naford, neighboring farmer, sought his
his flock of ducks, about 40 In number, with
a view to providing his own family and those
of the neighbors who had engaged some Of
the flock with nice Christmas dinner.
Imagine his surprise and disappointment
when not "quaek" could be heard or a
duck found. Since the closing Of the large
pond, by ice, near the house, the flock Of
ducks had been in the habit Of taking daily
swims in the ocean onlya few rods distant,
and 1t is evident that tempted by the remark
able smothness of the sea at that time, they
ventured too far from land, lost their reckon
ing and were probably scooped in by some of
the many passing vessels. Last Tuesday,
after nearly weeks absence, one solitary
duck came swimming in from sea and land

had the bird become that it would suffer no
one to approach 1t, taking to the ocean as
though 1t were sea duck. boat was
taken and after short chase the duck was

the flock have dismissed themselves.

seagull, somewhat rare in these waters, is
frequently seen. Nj.

merit OF his rendering. Mr.. Minis acting
last evening was consistent throughout At
no time did he touch either extreme of weak

was simple; natural and loyable. With Jo-
seph; he was neither the cardinal, nor the
minister, nor the guardian, but the vain and
credulous author. His defiance of De Bar
adas, in the third act was admirably done.
HIS entrance in the fourth act was exceed
lngly effective, and when he drew the circle
of the church about his ward, his voice and
action were at their best. He was not so
happy when representing the sudden transit
